LOOK at the key stats and moments from the game against Grimsby.
BURNLEY
MARLON BERESFORD Didn't actually make a save as almost every Grimsby effort seemed to find the back of his net...6
DEAN WEST Good ball in for Burnley's first but was too often caught out at the back by the rampant Mariners on a rare off night...5
MARK McGREGOR Unlucky to have the penalty given against him but he had a torrid time against Steve Kabba and an unhappy return...5
ARTHUR GNOHERE Had a night he will want to forget as everything that could go wrong did and he was taken off early...4
GRAHAM BRANCH Had to switch to centre back, did his best in very difficult circumstances but it was never easy...7
PAUL WELLER Must share some of the responsibility for the ease with which Grimsby attacked but played a part going forward...6
STEVE DAVIS Almost made it 5-5 and played some good balls but did not offer as much protection as of late...6
LEE BRISCOE Returned to left back near half time, deliver great cross for Moore's goal but had a tough night...5
ROBBIE BLAKE Two more goals for the in-form striker and he was once again effective in link up play...7
GARETH TAYLOR Starting to find the net, including one with his right boot, and he won countless balls in the air - again...8
IAN MOORE Great work for his goal, even better for Taylor's second but again taken off for tactical reasons...7
